You are joking right?
No I'm not.
That's right it looks too much with kyara LTD until 2 or 3 hours later.
After it begins to appear slightly Thai characteristic.
The Thai Encens is far less similar to Kyara LTD.
The noticeable difference between the two is: Crassna is less aggressive (pepper)! :)

Well I have a sample of Crassna Cha and some Kyara LTD too... but I cannot see any Kyara LTD in the Crassna! You must have a very fortunate body chemistry indeed!

Abdullah's not alone. We actually picked up Crassna Cha's uncanny similarity to both Kyara LTD and Kyara Koutan when it was fresh from the stills, however did not want to point this out in order to see whether anyone else would pick up on it. Checking it only six months later, the similarity has definitely come out even more, so imagine what it'll smell like when it's as old as Kyara LTD is now.

It might well be due to skin chemistry, Floraopia, so it'll be interesting to see if the note reveals itself to you down the line.

Just got back.... there is a resemblance, but the comparison of the Crassna Cha to the Kyara LTD is that of the dark, ink blue sea against a light sky blue... they are both blue, but the sky blue soars high into the heavens compared to the earth-bound dark blue of the sea.

Interestingly enough, when I swiped some of Oud Yusuf today, I was struck by its similarity to Kyara Koutan! It was like Kyara Koutan gone Cambodi. Not nearly as complex as KK yet, but I've been wearing Yusuf consistently, and this is the first time it just jumped out to me with that KK similarity. It's definitely developing in some really positive ways. I'm going to have buy a few more bottles!

Thomas, I read somewhere you added some alcohol & water to the Oud Ishaq? What did you think of the outcome, my stomach turned when I read it, now with it in my possession, I kind of understand why you tried it.
This is another awesome oud, this comes close to some oud I received in the 70's, my wife's mother(millionaire) lived in Bangkok & gifted it along with some gold when we got married. It was toward the end of the war, I'm guessing it was Thai oud, Cambodia was too dangerous. This is the closest yet, I told Ensar it reminded me of something but couldn't place it, now I can. It didn't have that fruity scent Thai oud has now, maybe a tiny more wood also, I like this Oud Ishaq.
Ensar makes it hard to not like his products I don't work for him but I do have a lot of good to say.

Said enough, have a good day!

Crassna Cha is amazing!
I agree that it is "green", but in my experience only in it's top and middle notes.
The basenotes are as dark as the oil itself, which I find immensely satisfying.
The lime and fresh green leaves rides on top of that black background which reminds me of the amazing incense stick Enju by Seijudo.
Intoxicating, complex and very interesting.
